Glubble v1.x: time for a new experience and upgrade to V2
September 3, 2009 by Alexander · Leave a Comment
Glubble launched with a first version of our kids browser in 2007. It was a first experiment which we kept improving using the feedback we received from our users. In 2008, we redesigned the entire service and added a family component to it. We will now shut down Glubble V1.x.

Last month we introduced the Family Timeline, a unique service that allows you to upload, store and share your family photos. With your Family Timeline you can visually navigate through time and easily find your most important family memories.
An important new functionality is that you can now share photos with anyone outside your family in a few easy steps. Read more
About Twitter, Family bonding and Golf

Besides at this web magazine Glubble also can be found on Twitter, and even has its own Facebook Fan group. For us these social media are not only simple and effective tools to communicate news about Glubble to our users. More important imo is the opportunity, especially with Twitter, that all our Twitter followers and those we follow back provide us to learn about your findings, ideas, and research in areas of similar interest like parenting, family, children and the Internet.
Every day, usually early in the morning, when I scroll through the hundreds of tweets Glubble receives it amazes me how much collective knowledge, understanding, wonderful life stories and fun stuff we seem be able to congregate. Many times true gems.
Switch to the Kid’s Browser
March 24, 2009 by Bartel Scheers · Leave a Comment
Within Glubble each of your children has an individual homepage that gives them access to thousands of carefully selected Web sites bursting full of fun activities, sharing and viewing photos in the family’s Photo Album and sending messages to you and other family members. The Kids Page is a safe environment in which your child can only access and search web sites you have pre-approved.
In order to get access to the Kids Page you need to create at least one child profile in your Family Page.
My child has no friends
March 23, 2009 by Bartel · Leave a Comment
We are social beings. From the moment we are born we make distinction between the people around us, between relatives, friends and strangers, and start to communicate.
The friendships children have with each other are different than those they have with parents and relatives. Of course, learning and social support result from relationships with parents, teachers, and other adults. But they don’t substitute for other relationships and it is among other children that kids learn how to interact with equals.
Why friendships are important
Children need other children to learn valuable social skills. Through interaction with (school) friends they learn how to do things like join groups, make new friends and deal with competition and conflict. Children need friendships to develop their own indivduality by providing them a supportive context in which self-exploration, emotional growth, and moral development can occur.
Friendly Glubble Fox
As a little tribute to our friends at Firefox, the web browser Glubble is designed for, and to our own cool Glubble Foxes we’ve created a special Friendly Glubble Fox as a free gift paper doll for you. You can download the Glubble Fox here as a PDF file.
Marley & Me
January 22, 2009 by Bartel · Leave a Comment
The movie version of Marley & Me begins shortly after young John (Owen Wilson) and Jenny Grogan (Jennifer Aniston) tie the knot. Moving to the warm weather climate of Florida and taking jobs at two of the local newspapers, Jenny and John don’t feel ready for a baby yet so John surprises Jenny with a golden Labrador puppy for her birthday.
From the start the cute little clearance pup is a mess waiting to happen as he tears through belongings, races away from his owners, and goes berserk during thunderstorms. John and Jenny try to get Marley trained at obedience school but he gets kicked out faster than you can say “Hello Kathleen Turner.” (The Academy Award nominee plays Marley’s beleaguered dog trainer in a brief sequence.)
The best wishes for 2009

Dear all,
2008 has been a roller coaster year for us. We worked really hard on a totally new experience that will provide families with children a safe and fun on-line gathering place. After our launch in September we received very positive publicity and we see the number of families joining us grow every day.
But the thing we are most proud of is the way you have helped us improve on our service. We have hundreds of active users dropping by our Glubble community on a regular basis. With your help we have detected issues and resolved them and we have improved the service by adding new features you have requested.
